Hamataki is a Japanese restaurant located next to the infamous bakery shop in Kowloon City. With just a few high tables and bar seats, we managed to enjoy a casual dinner with their signature piping hot ramen served with a super heated stone to maintain the tempreture of the ramen soup noodle.
The restaurant also offers a wide range of alcoholic drinks including their draft stout, beer, and other kinds of plum wine, as well as non-alcoholic tea or soft drinks if you are not a drinker.
紫蘇Plum Wine $108
This is a seasonal imported product and this plum wine is very suitable for any ladies to enjoy. The petite bottle of plum wine is in a cute pink colour and the portion size was quite perfect to share among two people. It was not too sweet and slightly sour, a perfect drink to increase your appetite before a meal.
Miyazaki Oyster $78
Miyazaki oysters are surprisingly huge in size! The palm-size long oysters are seasoned with light savoury sauce and chives. The oyster itself is light in sea water taste and seafood taste, and the texture is quite creamy with just a light chew to it. The giant bite easily gives you satisfaction if you have seafood craving like us.
Grilled Kinmedai $78
The halved Kinmedai is grilled until perfection with a crispy skin, however you are not supposed to eat the skin unless you really insist to digest some fish scales. Kinmedai gives a rather firm texture, while the fresh fish taste complimented nicely with the saltiness and citric from the lemon wedge.
Grilled mentaiko $68
Mentaiko is no strange in Japanese cuisine, while the mentaiko served at Hamataki is pretty savoury with just a hint of spicy kick. The crispy seaweed, grated radish and spring onion give a complexity to the mouthful, the marriage between spicy, savoury, earthy, and grassy is just irresistible.
Housemade black garlic ramen $88
Our ramen bowl is then brought to us with a piece of their signature heated stone. The super piping hot soup noodle was famous for its hot tempreture. Nothing would be worth than a bowl of just warm ramen therefore this is something I really appreciate from Hamataki and it would be great for those who are picky about food tempreture like us.
Their black garlic and soup is housemade. The thick film of oil is floating on top the trap the heat of the soup. Are you into that?
The ramen is the kind of egg-y curly ramen in regular thickness. Not too chewy, not too soft, just the type that can be widely accepted by most of the customers.
The super hot soup is hot enough but not too hot to “cook” the soft boiled egg. The tamago remained runny which is very important in a good bowl of ramen, the creaminess from the yolk is definitely on-point, while the egg white stayed soft and moist.
The pork charshu is sliced thinly and it is not topped with any classic housemade miso paste, but a small chopped piece of black garlic. The meat itself is tender and soft just with the right amount of fat attached to it.
Their ramen also comes with a small piece of crispy seaweed that I prepare to enjoy the first, and a few pieces of marinated bamboo shoots. Overall, the hot ramen is a must order and I would recommend the newly launched prawn ramen which delivers a delightful rich seafood taste from the prawns. Most importantly, the soup from that prawn ramen was a lot lighter in terms of oiliness, and the soup base also tasted stronger than the black garlic one, preferably a better options for girls who want to stay fit!
